Trouble getting/maintaining erections

Sometimes SSRI can cause ED. Check with your doctor.

You might have low T, do a blood test with your doctor.

Recreational drugs, alcohol, porn and fapping can also have a negative effect.

Could just be your anxiety. You could try Viagra to see if this helps you get over it.

If you watch porn, there's your problem. Quit it. Otherwise, check out the testosterone sub. A surprising and increasing number of young men are finding their levels are lower than expected.

Personally, I just found out I have elevated Prolactin levels. I noticed that the more sex I had, the harder it was to keep it up.

I have some problems with [...] eating well.

This might be the culprit. You're always in hunger mode. Your body cuts back on nonessentials, i.e. your libido. And the low erection quality due to this when it's time to get down to business ends up giving you more anxiety.

I recommend that you slowly add more calories. Like, eat what you usually eat but add 5 eggs or something to your daily food intake. Slowly add more and get used to eating more.

This is one huge issue for me too. Every morning I cook the food I eat that day, and I know if I don't eat all of it that very day, I'll lose weight or I end up spending more time in bed. I had to cut all cardio, since I don't eat enough to replenish the calories burned.

One reason for having trouble eating is digestive problems. Your body is telling you that it can't take more of the food. Here's and article on low stomach acidity. I've used a Betaine HCl supplement for a while and it really helped my digestion and made me experience hunger more frequently. But I ran out of it a while ago. Have to order some now.

Or you might have trouble digesting some of your staple foods. I can't really stomach oats, but figured that out after eating them everyday for almost a decade :(

Try nofap. Many people say these are the exact same circumstances they overcame(no pun intended.) personally, being backed up for 3 weeks helps my dick stay hard as fuck no matter what’s going on during sex.

Jerk off more to HD porn

10 times a day is the sweet spot

What's your fitness level at? I get a bit of a case of flop dick if I'm out of shape and doing all the work. Increase your aerobic work outs a bit if you're working out and if you're not working out shut your face and work out.
